I put the hood of my jacket around my head, for some reason it comforts me, like when I were it I am less likely to be noticed but I know for a fact that this is not true, because the colour of the rain jacket was bright yellow and so bright that I would not be surprised if it glowed in the dark. Where my hunters wearing bright clothes to? Probably not. I know that this "game" is rigged for me to lose, but how rigged? Did the boys have access to my location on the tracker implanted in me? Where they hot on my trail right now?
Then I hear some muffled voices. Male voices. And it seems like some of my questions had been miraculously answered. I go into panic mode. They where close. How close though? Had they spotted me already? My best bet of safety was to climb a tree and hide in amongst its leaves and branches. No, I was a slow climber and I could hear the voices getting clearer and louder every second. I was wasting time, I look up at the tree and take a breath in. Climbing it would be the best option because if I run the shuffling of leaves and my fast footsteps would be an obvious indicator that I was close.

I climb as fast as I can. And to my surprise it only took me a minute to get about 5 meters in the air. I could here there voices better now, but with the rustling of the leaves in the wind it made it really had to decipher what the conversation was. I hide in the leaves but I still look out. I pray that they don't just decide to look up now and see me and my highlighter jacket in the trees. Then I see them and I am so surprised that I almost fall out of the tree. Both of them where heavy armed with weapons, which in its self is not that surprising but these weapons where military grade high powered guns and large blades  that could kill me in less than an instant. And I immediately get jealous of what they are wearing, Military green camouflage pants, black hoodies, black workers boots and black baseball caps. They had large black backpacks and even hand radios. I wish I could have gotten something more suitable to wear then what I got, but it was starting to get could and I know the wind would bit at my skin that was exposed.

From what I could tell, the two boys that where walking past me where the youngest and one of the oldest. So they where in teams. But five is an odd number so was there a team of three and a team of two? Or where there two teams of two and one alone? Or did these two just decide to team up secretly while the other three went solo?

As they past my tree I get hit in the face with a epiphany-
If they could have camouflage clothing and high powered weapons, then I will have them to.

The hunters are going to become the hunted.
